anybody else own m70 stealth?
« on: December 03, 2005, 08:52:26 AM »
I picked one up a used 22-250 last year and have been amazed at its accuracy. As for as i know it is box stock, i did adjust the trigger as light as i could get it with out it slam firing. It routinely turns in sub .5moa at 100 yards..

I would like to hear from other stealth owners about your experience with a stealth.

I've had one for a few years now and I love the thing! It too is a 22-250. I put a Weaver 6-24 scope on it and replaced the trigger with a Timney. I use it for vaporizing squirrels. It'll shoot 1/2" groups @ 200 yards using 55 grain Nosler b/t's and IMR 4895. Mike

Most accurate rifle I have owned.  Mine is a .22-250 also.  On a good day it shoots in the .3's with 50 grn. Noslers and Reloader 15.

Mine is a pre-Stealth design with the blued action and Stainless 26" heavy barrel.  At 100yds, I found myself aiming high, low, and side to side to completely tear out the 1" circle.  Incredible rifle!  Mine's in 243 Winchester.
